The test system and tests used in this review is the same as that of the P55 chipset platform with one exception. Due to the fact that this is a CPU review I used the Core i5 661 CPU at standard speeds with this review. Performance should be slower than a Core i5 750 and it should be an interesting comparison with the P55 chipset which is essentially the same as the H55.
